Any sort of state or police involvement in either events?
I don't know for sure about the first two situations, as I wasn't there to know exactly what happened. As for the incident between the two patients, there was no action by outside groups of any sort - the only people PV alerted to this situation were the parents. The families of both the patients were notified once the patients told what had happened, days later. Again, out of respect for the patients I don't want to go into too much detail about this. You can ask more questions about it, I'll just find a way to answer without disclosing the information I'd like to keep private.
I understand your position well enough to support your desire to respect patient privacy. At times I've been tempted to relate some fairly intense events of all sorts of natures, but I've decided against it as I wanted to respect the privacy of the person or persons involved.
So onto the next question..
Were the state or local authorities ever called to PV? If yes what were they called to the facility for and what was the outcome?
To my knowledge, no outside law enforcement agencies were ever called while I was at PV. There were many times that other patients and I would have jumped at the chance to call 911 if we could, but of course that wouldn't be allowed. Not sure how much good it would do even if we could.
Hey, act.da. Are you aware of PV having their own security staff? The Blount County Sheriff's Department claims they do, and I've seen in a patient's records that PV security was called to find out why I was on PV property. More specifically, to find out why I was pissing on the side of one of their buildings. They missed me, of course.
The Blount Sheriff's dep't. refused to do a welfare check on a child at PV, claiming PV had their own security, and the Sheriff would only go to PV if the program called
them.
Your postings above are alarming. The PM's on Fornits are not the most secure way to communicate - can you PM me an e-mail address?
